Hurry! Last days of Smugglers Beware Exhibit!
17 September 2009
Last chance to see Smugglers Beware!
The upcoming school holidays offer the last chance for visitors to experience the exciting Smugglers Beware exhibit at Werribee Open Range Zoo.
The interactive, fun and educational exhibit will close its doors on October 4 - but not before another action packed school holiday period. Admission is free, included in the general price of admission.
School holiday action at the Zoo doesn't stop there. There is also still time to book one of the many school holiday programs on offer.
Zoo Explorers or Zoo Adventures programs offer fun, educational and unforgettable behind-the-scenes activities.
For students who want to be the next David Attenborough or Jane Goodall, there is a new Zoologist for a Day program that offers hands-on experience on how to track and observe animals whilst learning all about the research process.
The Zoo Keeping for a Day program is back by popular demand, giving teenagers a real glimpse into a Keeper's day. They will go behind the scenes, help out with real Keeper tasks, and go on a Safari Tour with a difference.
For the younger students, there are two programs on offer: Beastly Behaviours and Endangered Faeces.
Beastly Behaviours will take budding Keepers on a journey behind the scenes with many of the large animals. They will discover how Keepers manage to keep the whole Zoo family happy and they will help out with animal enrichment and conditioning.
Endangered Faeces is all about poo and why it is important for animal carers to study faeces. Students will recycle rhino poo into paper and enjoy poo-themed cooking and games. Not smelly at all!
For holiday program bookings, phone 1300 ZOOS VIC or visit www.zoo.org.au/learning.
